I started to plan our next meeting around late February / early March and working on topics that hopefully appeal to most of you.

I would very apprecciate your suggestions and would like to hear from your on what topic suggestions you have. Perhaps you have a Websphere related story you would like to share with our community? Please reply to this blog or email me at erabeda@us.ibm.com with your ideas by January 18th, 2012.

I will send out details once more things are confirmed.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Hello All,

Just wanted to send you all a note on something you would find extremely valuable!! The WebSphere Technical community has scheduled a series of Proof of Technologies to showcase several solutions in the Southfield, MI and Lansing, MI areas.

For those of you who are unaware, a Proof of Technology gives you the chance to get hands on with the tools, understand introductory concepts, and work through a few exercises. Whether you are new to the product or simply need a refresher, attending one of these session I've found to always be very helpful.

To register to these sessions please contact your IBM WebSphere representative or me (Ewa Rabeda erabeda@us.ibm.com) and provide your name, title, contact information and a session name you would like to attend.
